John Ure Knihy

The real stories behind the phantom worlds of Kipling, John Buchan's heroes and Flashman's villains.

Back in the day when Britain ruled the world, the two great powers went head to head over control of central Asia. This was the stage of open warfare but also espionage, subterfuge and adventure. John Ure tells the story of British soldiers, missionaries, mercenaries, traders and opportunists who made their name in the Great Game.
